Watermelon Salad

I am so excited. I am playing for the first time the Picnic Game. This is a virtual picnic that is hosted by my blogging friend Louise, author of the blog "Months of Edible Celebrations." A link to her blog is below.

The way you play the game is by picking a letter of the alphabet and making a dish that begins with the letter you chose. I picked the letter "W". I am going to make a Watermelon Salad for the picnic. A picnic isn't a picnic with out some watermelon during the summer.

I love this salad. The taste is so summery and refreshing and the mint adds an extra coolness to the salad.

What I sometimes do when I am taking this salad to a real picnic - is assemble the salad there. It gets soggy if it sits around for hours.

You are sooooo right. A picnic just isn't the same without watermelon! Your salad looks so refreshing and cool. It is going to be quite the hit at the picnic!!!

You did fabulous for your first time! I'm so excited too. We are going to have a wonderful time at the picnic, Gerladine. Thank you so much for joining in on the festivities. I'm off to share your post!

Hi, Nice to see what's in your picnic basket! I've made something similar in the past and I'm sure we will eat it immediately, especially since you will be making it right at the picnic. Virtually, of course.

Hi Geraldine, this is great and perfect for picnic. I just can't wait to spread my blanket next to you! I know I am going to love this watermelon salad as I love watermelon besides the way you prepare it looks so delish and refreshing. I am going to try your recipe soon and thanks for sharing. Great to discover your wonderful blog. You have a fabulous day ahead and regards :)

Your Watermelon Salad is beautiful! I think I'd leave off the salt, because I'm not wild about salt in general, but the feta and mint sound splendid with the watermelon. This salad screams both "summer" and "picnic."

About Me

Throughout my lifetime, I have been passionate about food. Whether it be cooking food, eating food, researching food, experimenting with recipes, I loved it. I started my cooking adventure at home watching, and helping my parents, grandmother, aunt, and cousin cook. As I got older, I got more involved in cooking. Eventually, with the help of my trusty cookbooks, I was cooking meals on my own. Eventually, I started experimenting with adjusting this and that in recipes. I also started experimenting with duplicating meals I ate at restrauants. Some meals were great experiments, others were not so great. I have had my recipes published in "Taste of Home" publications.
